Intersoggettività o transindividualità. Le passioni tra Descartes e Spinoza (original) (raw)

Intersubjectivity or Transinviduality. Passions between Descartes and Spinoza the article aims to interpret the theory of passions in descartes and Spinoza in the light of two posterior models, namely the Husserlian intersubjectivity and the Simondonian transin-dividuality. this anachronistic reading of the two authors makes possible to shed light on the opposition between, on the one hand, a theory of passions as properties of a subject preceding the relations, and, on the other hand, a theory conceiving the subject itself as constituted by the complex web of passions. In fact, the domain of passions in Spinoza does not coincide with the interiority of the subject, but rather with the web of relations between individuals.
